Bukayo Saka beats off competition from Tottenham and Chelsea stars to earn PFA award

Bukayo Saka has been named PFA Fans' player of the month for March. The 20-year-old had a sensational month scoring himself and assisting Martin Odegaard in the 3-2 victory over Watford, before scoring the crucial goal in a tense 1-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The England international has enjoyed a terrific season after experiencing the heartbreak of missing the decisive penalty in the EURO 2020 final against Italy and has gained plenty of praise from manager Mikel Arteta. "I think Bukayo had an experience in the summer that not a lot of players would ever have and I think it was great for his career because the football world showed how much they like him and how much they respect him," the Spaniard said.

"That's another thing you get much more than that in football apart from winning trophies, so I think that was a big boost for him to realise in difficult moments that people are going to give him support and the club did exactly the same as his team mates."
